"Texas House Democrats who left the state to prevent a vote on new congressional maps will return to Texas, feeling they have accomplished their mission of killing the first special session, raising awareness and sparking national backlash about the mid-decade redistricting, multiple sources confirmed to ABC station KTRK and ABC News on Tuesday.

A source told ABC News the House Democrats loosely plan on returning this weekend. Those plans could change, the source noted, if Republicans go back on their word to begin a second special session on Friday.

In a news release on Tuesday that did not share specific plans, House Democrats proclaimed victory, saying that they "have killed this corrupt special session on behalf of Texas families -- exactly what we said we'd do when we left the state."
